I liked Darling in the Franxx. I only been watching the dubbed version so I only seen up to episode 16 and I have to say it kind of fell flat to me.

Hopefully it picks back up, I'm tempted to just finish watching it subbed but man do I hate them.

Episodes 16 through 19 are set up episodes for the rebellion, in the same way that 7-12 were setups for episode 13. 19 especially confirmed a lot of the things that I'd been theorising, and is a major episode for its insights into the history of the world and the character of Dr. FranXX.

Having watched both subbed and dubbed, I definitely prefer the sub. That's not to say the dub is bad or anything (and indeed, as dubs go it's pretty well done), but there are some things that are really jarring - Hiro's voice being like two octaves deeper than it should be is one of them.

So I cheated and finished watching Darling in the Franxx subbed. I really liked the anime, one of my new favorites and I liked how they left the season finale as an opening for a second season but...

I was really hoping Zero Two/Hiro made it back to earth, which they kinda did but if they make a season 2 it's open to interpretation if it's actually them. I'm fine with a second class of characters but the main characters I generally like to stay the same. That's even if there is going to be another season though.
